What does non-linguistic really mean and how does it help all students retain information?
Over many different researches it has been found that everyone’s brain learns in 2 ways…linguistic and non-linguistic. Have you ever seen a child who is really good at activities such as Art and Music but have a hard time with academics? That’s because they are using the non-linguistic part to learn.
"During this research it was proven to "not only stimulate but also increase brain activity" (Marzano, Pickering, & Pollock, 2001)

How can educators apply technology with this strategy?
The more children or adults use both ways to learn, the easier they will be able to recall the information.Marzano’s suggest that there are 5 different ways to bring technology and his strategies together. Below I have given a description of them along with visual aids. Furthermore, I have provided several links and youtube video’s to help expand your knowledge and understanding.
Graphic organizer is a way student can put there thoughts down on paper and they can visual see what they are doing.
There a 6 different graphs that are recommended to used for this, they are:
Descriptive
Time-sequence
Process/Cause-Effect
Episode
Generalization
Concept
Physical Modes are another form of teaching with non-linguistic.
The modes can be small or larger of anything that the child or adults wants to make. They are physical objects that one can hold in there hand and visually see.
Mental Pictures are an important part of being able to remember information. The better the image is in the mind, the better the child or adult can understand what they are being taught and recall later on.
Using Illustrations of pictures and pictographs-illustrations is a way to show a visual of what you re trying to teach them. The teacher is also able to show the children how to graph charts and to read them.There are programs such as, KidPix, Inspiration, Kidspiration, and Excel that the children can use to draw pictures or pictographs that will help them symbolize what they are trying to learn.Pictograph is “symbols or symbolic pictures to represent information.” (Marzano, 2000). Children can also use illustrations of pictures to express feelings, that they can not put words too.
The last recommendation by Marzano’s is Kinesthetic Activities .Which is doing a physical movement instead of just listening to a lecture. “When students use physical movement to role play processes or events, it generates a mental picture of the knowledge in the mind of the learner.” (Marzano's Instructional Strategies//, n.d.).

There are total of 5 recommendations for the classroom that will be helpful with non-linguistic.
This list comes from the book “What Works in Classroom Instruction” by Robert J. Marzano, et. al.
